be remembered as the gentleman
who met with serious accident by being vio

A Tribute from Colored PeODIe.

Last evening the colored people, under the
auspices of the NJ r. Delaney Grand Army
Post, held a meeting at Simpson Chapel to
honor the memory Of Gen. John A. Logan
There was an attendance of over five hundred
and the addresses showed the warm regard and
high admiration in which the speakers and audi
ence held the distinguished statesman and war
rior. A euloey was delivered by Col.
A A. Jones. after whom the Reys.
Charles Jones and A. A. Price and
mr Sidney Hinton spoke. Letters were
read from many friends of the colored people
who had been invited to take part in the meet
ing. Resolutions were adopted in which Gen.
Logan was referred to as "a soldier in whom
bravery and honesty were paramount" They
said the "hstory of the war, and its glorious
achievements cannot be written without his
name; the history of legislation for the relief of
his comrades cannot be prepared without re-
peating his speeches, which were always on the
side of the soldiers" A copy of the resolutions,
handsomely engrossed, is to be sent to the
widow.

Sensitive Meacher.

Cornelius Meagher. who claims seat in the
House, reached the city Monday evening The
brethren gave him very cordial reception. and
attempted to bolster him up for the fight but
their encouraging words had little effect. After
the ilrss few hours there little attention paid
70 MIN, and being entire stranger to
the city. and to all but a few of the politicians
he soon began to wish himself back in his native
city. Yesterday he received still less atten-
ton. and early in the day became
Clseusted with the whole business. Last
night when the members started for the caucus
no one invited him. and feeling that perhaps he
was not wanted, he stuck to his chair in the
lobby OF the Grand. About 10 o'clock a counIe
OF members approached Meaeher and iuonired
why be was not at the caucus. He replied:
They didn't invite me. and l guess thew don't
want me. think they have got me IN hero to
make fool of me- / will go back home
The inquirers supposed he was only Joking and
passed on An hour later Democrat rushed
up to the caucus. and reported that Meaeher
had taken his carpetbag and gone to the train.
with the intention of going home A committee
OF three was sent after him. and reached the
depot Just IN time to find him boarding the Ills
Vandalia train for Terre Haute He was per.
suaded to return to the hotel but made no
promise as to how long he is going tosstay.

The Inter State Commerce BIZ.


As railroad securities advanced in
value upon the signing of the Interstate
commerce bill by the President, it is fair
to assume that railroad investors are be
coming convinced of the advantages of
governmental regulation of Interstate
traffic. In evecy state in which publicity
of rates and the short-uGul principle have
b EN- applied the net earnings of the rail-
road companies have been increased and
an impetus given to the construction Of
new railroads. Figures from thirteen
states of the Union are the authority for
this statement. 1t is therefore reason
able to expect that the enforcement of the
inter state commerce law will exercise q
benetlCent influence upon the railway in
terests, and secure to the companies that
certainty and permanency of rates which
the pools were designed to bring about,
but which they have signally failed TO ac-
Complish.
At no time during the Iast five years
did peace prevail for a week in the terri
tory tributary to the Trunk-Line Pool.
The railroad men always maintained them
selves on q war footing, and the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company kept a reserve OF
something like Sl4, 100000 on hand in or
der, as it said to it's English stockhold-
ers, that it might be ready for emergen-
cies. But the new law will obyiate the
necessity for such precautions. The
short-hsul and publicity clauses, if not in
terfered with by the new commissions, $,
would stop those sudden and violent iuc-
tuations OF rates that have marked the
DraSant Dn1irv of tha railroad counanipS
and would tend TO bring about that ideal
system of transportation which. Charles
Francis Adams pictured as sat cnce rea-
sonable, equitable and certain-permlt-
ting traffic to flow and interchanges to be
made, Just how and where the interests
of buyer and seller dictate-never dis
criminating-rarely and then only slowly,
fuctuating"

THE INVESTIGATION.

The farce called IAN investigation into
alleged political outrages committed in
Washington county, Tex" continues day
after day in Washington. Several Re
publicars are up there to testify and
usually manage tc so shape their testi-
mony that it will give some color Of
truth to the statements made by Hack
worth, Moore and SchultZe. Republican
Senators put ingeniously framed ques-
tions with 8 view to drawing out testi-
mony of the kind to suit Republican
purposes, and all in all it appears
to be kind of picnic for Senator Hoar,
who has been the moving spirit in
getting up the rumpus. And while this
is the situation in the committee-room in
Washington, down in Washington county
Republicans and Democrats are talking it
over in the most cheerful spirit. Repub
licans and Democrats who are friends
and neighbors, who are partners in bust
ness, meet in the saloons at BRENNAN and
laugh over the investigation" as they
quaff their glasses of foamjng lager. If
the Republican part of the committee
could be dropped down in Brennan for e
half day, without the inhabitants know
ing who they were, and take notes of
what they saw and heard, they you'd be
able to realize more than they do what
farce they have inaugurated. And over
at Austin, where the Texas Legislature is
in session, the Republican member from
Washington county-this county where
Republicans cannot dwell in safety-sits
in the House and continues to help make
laws for the people of Texas. Everything
is calm and serene in Washington county
Notwithstanding the tempest in a teapot

The Best Prohibition.
Cleburne Chronicle.

High license Is the best prohibition. In
spite of total prohibition law liquor will
be sold, and it is rare case where a
large town adopts prohibition if years
working of the law does not disgust all
sincere Prohibltionists themselves and
convert them into advocates of high
license as the onl7 effectual way of reduc-
ing to a minimum the evils attendant
upon the use of Intoxicating beverages
Cleburne has tried local option; Wsxs-
hGchie has tried it, and other towns of
considerable proportions have tried it
and the uniform verdict has been that it
was better to have open sale under the re-
striCtions OF high license than constant Vi
olation of local option with condonance
of officials and semi-condonance by courts
and juries. A prohibition law which is
note nforcedi is certainly of evil tendency,
and where large portion of community
is opposed to law, it cannot be enforced
without keeping up constant irrita-
ton among neighbors, and division
of the people into factions, which IS
destructive Of local enterprise and
progress. II prohibition could entirely
prevent the use of liquor as beverage,
there would be logic in its adoption; but
It cannot do this, it is not good policy
to axe law which, without suppress
ing the evil aimed at, occasions other
considerable evils. High license Is as
effectusl a prohibition measure as any
that Can be adopted. 1t closes whisky
shops everywhere except in large towns
where there is police surveillance, and in
them If closes the low dives where the
baser element congregate to drink, gam
BILE, rob and murder.
1t puts the traffic in the hands of men
of property who are responsible for any
violation of law, and who have high in
terest In keeping good order and quiet
ebout their premises. 1t is better to have
whisky sold at one or two towns in a
county publicly than at every station and
cross road on the sly. 1t is unnecessary
to speak Of the revenue to be derived

FLNISN TIE YORK.

The y o1se has spoken It's mind, and
favorably, in regard to submitting
prohibition amendment to popular vote
but the Senate has yet to give its approval
to the measure. The apparent delay in
this matter appears to have inspired ap-
prehensions il some quarters that after
all the Senate will stand in the way of
submission and defeat the proposition.
THE GAZETTE does not take stock in such
apprehensions, being assured that at least
two thirds of the Senators are favorable
to submission. Very few Of the Sena-
tors expect to vote for the amendment
when it comes before the people, but they
are not averse to giving the people an OPP
portunity to vote, and thus TUE GAZETTE
argues that the Senate will follow the
action of the House and adopt the
measure. Even were majority
of the Senators opposed to such
action it is not conceivable they
would feel disposed to brave pub
lie opinion by refusing to do that which
is so imperatively demanded by Prohibi-
tionists and anti-Prohlbitionists alike.
People and press were never so unanimous
in their aCquiescence on any subject. 1t is
noteworthy circumstance, too, that this
same subject is engrOssing the attention
Of the people in number of the states
this year, both north and south. 1t is
equally noteworthy that in every instance
(Texas eXcepted) when the question has
come up for legislative consideration
Joint resolution providing for submission
has been adopted. Not legislature has
refused TO take the necessary steps to
place the question before the people. The
demand in Texas is, therefore, perfectly
in accord with public sentiment else
where, going to show that in a number of
states the people, wearied of incessan
agitation, have determined to settle the
prohibition question, for term of years,
at least. As stated at the outset
OF this article, THE GAZETTE does not
entertain eny apprehension as to the
course the Senate will take, but in view
of the expressions of such distrust, heard
here and there, the Upper House might
as well relieve all doubts by calling up
the measure and passing it.
